The Harvard Independent, in speaking
of Judge E. Il. Aver, the veteran land
lord of Ayers Hotel, who attended the
state encampment, G. A. R., at Milwau-
kee, last week, as the guest of the old
soldiers, says:
Judge Aver is highly reverenced by
the veteran soldiers of Wisconsin, in
view of the fact that during the war,
while he was landlord of Ayers Hotel
in this village, he fed all Union soldiers
who passed through Harvard with the
best his house afforded, invariably de-
Ginning to receiving compensation there
for. He and his good wife were parti-.
cularly attentive in caring for the sick
ard wounded soldiers who came this
way. For this openhearted, open-hand-
ed generosity the Wisconsin veterans,
many of whom were subjects to his
bounty, have ever since turned to him
with unbounded gratitude. Whenever
| the subject IS mentioned to him he
nodestly replies, i am very thankful
I was so situated that 1 could do those
things for the brave soldier boys"
On Sunday evening, March 6, Rev.
Father Cleary delivered sermon in st. |
James church on the sin of dishonesty
He gave those who refused to pay their
honest debts and took advantage of the
exemption laws to cheat those who had |
trusted them a severe scoring, saying
they were worse than highway robbers.
He also condemned the practice of de-
laying the payment of honest debts, and
said no man had right to own property
or live in luxury while he owed any
one dollar that only those who were
unable-through no fault of their own
to pay their debts were excusable, and
none others could expect pardon of God
until they paid the last dollar they
owed. Last Sunday night he preached
on intemperance, and said it was the
chief cause of people running into debt
and being unable to meet their Just OBJ
legations that if the money spent in the
saloons was devoted to the support of
ones family there would be no necessi-
ty of getting into debt besides the
laboring man would have money to
spare for little luxuries and dainties for
his family.
In 1860 Mr.. John B. Kupfer opened
bakery in Kenosha, and by dint of
hard work and close attention to bust
nsss he acquired a competency and
brought up family of six children, an
honor to their parents. At the begin
ming of the present month, Mr.. Kupfer
associated with him his two sons
William and Harry--as partners, to be
known as John B. Kupfer & Sons
This is one of the highest compliments
father can confer upon his child
and the two young men are as deserv-i
ing of the compliment as any young
men in the city. Every new firm must
have something new to attract atten-
ton. John B. Kupfer s. Sons delivery
wagon is splendidly painted, contain
ing a view of the bakery with all
hands at work, and little stretch of
the imagination will name the char.
acters there delineated, even to the lad
carrying a basket in the lower left
hand corner of the picture. The paint.
ing is the work of Charles Hallett. of
this city.
For some time past there have been
negotiations pending with Messrs. j.
Cross & Sons, of Chicago. who were
looking for place to establish shops
for the manufacture of Gne furniture,
office furnishings, etc. The furniture
factory property belonging to Mr.. E.
Balm, the organ factory and the old
match factory have all been talked of,
but nothing was definitely decided upon.
The Business Mems Club have taken
the matter in hands, and at meeting +
held last Monday evening the matter
was had under discussion, and a COM
mittee composed Of Messrs. Philip
Lentz, G. d. Head and N. r. Allen, Jr.,
was appointed to confer with Messrs.
Cross & Sons on the subject, and en-
deavOr to induce them to locate here.
The comnittee are authorized to guar
antee a certain sum in aid of the enter
prise; and, being in the right hands,
there is no doubt but that all that is |
reasonable will be done to secure sue |
cess.
By the kindness of Mr.. Geo. Hale,
the following letter from a former
resident of Kenosha is furnished for
publication:
DIES MONIES, Iowa, March Z, 1887.
LIEUT.. GEORGE HALE, Kenosha, Wis.
DEAR GEORGE: | am indeed glad
to see movement on the part of the
old soldiers of Kenosha and vicinity to
organize a Grand Army Post, and
proud to know that it is to be known
as Fred Lowell Post. I tell you, George,
with all his faults, he was grand and
generous-hearted as we'll as brave
and patriotic man. In his life of SER
vice the private soldier had no better
or truer friend than he.
We have nearly four hundred and
fifty posts in Iowa. I should enjoy
above all things meeting with you.
We are all we'll. Remember me to the
boys, and believe me
